EcoTherapy Counselling

Drawing strength and meaning from our natural surrounds enables us to navigate through the other aspects of our lives causing distress, with more energy and mindfulness.

That is the basic principle on which EcoTherapy Counselling is based.

EcoTherapy is a holistic, non-invasive approach to counselling suitable for a wide range of people, from all walks of life, across a large age group.

Where normal counselling usually occurs in the confines of an office, ecotherapy sometimes happens outdoors in the presence of nature. Clients are encouraged to reconnect with the outdoors in a variety of ways; sometimes through outdoor sessions with me as counsellor and sometimes on their own, through ‘homework’.

The process is flexible and adaptive, encouraging growth and acceptance to come from within.
We often move away from offices to spaces to places of beyond-human beauty and meaning.

That means that our sessions will often occur in secluded, natural settings like parks, wildlife reserves, gardens and on private land.
Ecotherapy is different in many ways, but the most important way in which this form of counselling differs is that we foster a deeper understanding of ourselves, our realities and our own personal quests for meaning in the stirring presence of nature.

Where EcoTherapy is similar to traditional counselling is that the counsellor operates within certain time frames, with sound ethical work practices and takes his/her role in the collaborative process very seriously.
